Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD

Also note that it is not just ADHD that needs checklists. Anything that has more than a few steps and/or is critical, or is done when tired. One of the major steps towards making flying safe was instituting pre-flight checklists. Surgery teams now keep lists of every item used to avoid leaving something in the patient. The US Army did studies on what kind of mental facilities degrade with lack of sleep, and they found that strategic judgment was quite intact, but failures happened due to forgetting the little things, like filling canteens or fuel before going into the field - total checklist items. Heck, last night leaving the shop late, I remembered to reset the HVAC system, but forgot to grab my water container on the way home.

So, if you can keep it streamlined, I think you are onto something.

Another thing I thought of was to keep track of the time spent in each subtask and have the watch vibrate to remind you to focus if you take more than a couple of standard deviations to finish a given step.

I'd love to use yours. Unfortunately as I'm an Android guy I'll have to build it myself still :)

I did use it while ignoring the game part for a bit. It was still useful, but I did just end up forgetting it later.

I currently use Workflowy for this, which has web/native desktop apps for easily typing out lists that can be completed on the phone like this, crossing them off in the same way. Workflowy don't have an apple watch app yet though so you have an advantage there.

Also I would change the "crossing out" action to work on clicking anywhere on the row, whereas now it only works on the radio button or label. That's a big pain for right handed people with one-word items.
